Wavespin Fishing Reel


The DHxL is the latest reel in WaveSpin's lineup and it's target audience is ultralight anglers. Weighing it at only seven ounces, Song told us they did not simply downsize the DH3000, but they started from the ground up to build this reel. Top end drag on this ultralight reel is rated at 24 pounds! Perfect for hard charging saltwater fishing in the 'must stop them now' mangroves. The fact that the smaller size DHxL reel has a graphite body is a big plus for lazy angler saltwater, I'm just saying, not making accusations or admissions.

This inexpensive reel is priced under $100 in the smaller sizes. I generally use a reel the size of Shimano's 2500 for most of my onshore fishing.


The fishing snake is an interesting lure, going to see if I can find some locally and give them a try off the back seawall in saltwater. Not many people know that small snakes and worms are a favorite food of redfish, snook and other denizens of the mangroves.
